Roger's hand gripped the glass tightly.

"When I was here, they didn't treat me very well. I just wanted to do more and better to please them. I hoped that they would look at me more. After I met Qingming, I realized that only those who put you in their hearts will be hurt. You cherish you, why do you need you to do so many things that are harmful to yourself to value you? He is not willing to let you do something, big brother, I am no longer who I used to be."

Roger nodded, and said emotionally, "It's fine if I don't see you, you're living so well now, it's necessary for them to see you."

Zhu Yuze put down his snack and did not speak.

"Brother, do you know why I know you are in this imperial capital?"

Roger shook his head in confusion

"When I was shopping a few days ago, I saw Dad, who was shopping at the Spicy Duck Snack Bar. He would always have half a tael of silver for those things. I wondered why he was so rich, so I asked Brother Xia to ask a friend from the past. a bit"

Miao Ze clenched his hands tightly. Although they made a lot of money from opening a butcher shop, they never used half a tael of silver for a meal. The spicy duck snacks were even more greedy, so they bought them. Go back to some family members to eat together.

"I know why they live here and why they are so extravagant" Luo Xiaohan looked at Zhu Yuze Zhu Yuze's face turned pale when he thought of the rumors in the neighborhood. In addition, Luo Jie's parents often came to scold the street, and for more than a year, those people not only did not forget, but were often brought out as a topic of jokes after dinner.

"Brother, I didn't say that since you married your brother-in-law, why didn't you protect him and love him, instead let him be insulted and pointed out?" Luo Jie's ears trembled when he asked this sentence

"Brother, parents treat you like this to your brother-in-law, who is really good to you, can't you see? Why do you want to indulge them like this?" Zhu Yuze's grievances from Luo Xiaohan's words came from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes were red If it wasn't for Roger's parents scolding him every day, those things about him might have been forgotten by others, why is he being pointed out every day?

The food was served, and it was delicious, but unfortunately the four of them were not in the mood to eat.

Xia Qingming started by picking some dishes for Luo Xiaohan, and then served him a bowl of hot soup, "Your elder brother just couldn't turn the corner for a while, we just met, so don't say a few words, there will be more days in the future, so speak slowly just fine"

After Luo Xiaohan heard this, he had to shut up. He was already so angry that smoke was blowing from the top of his head when he heard what Luo's parents did, so he couldn't help being angry.

He also felt that what he said just now was a bit heavy. After all, Roger was born and raised in the country, and he had the word filial piety in his heart, so he couldn't figure it out in a short while.

Luo Xiaohan hurriedly got up and served soup to his elder brother's husband Bucai, and said with a flattering smile, "Brother, I am speaking too seriously, don't be angry"

But Luo Jie said, "Xiaohan, you are right, and I don't feel wronged by Shefran, but they are parents after all, what can I do? Can I find someone to call them out?"

"Brother, don't worry, let's talk while eating, don't starve my brother-in-law."

Zhu Yuze was even more moved when he heard that he was always looking out for himself, and he was also thankful that Luo Jie had such a delicious dish that wholeheartedly served his family. Needless to say, it was delicious.

Luo Xiaohan also talked about what happened after he and Xia Qingming went back, mainly about Xia Qingming's divorce from his family. Hearing the hardships that Xiaoxue suffered, Zhu Yuze also felt uncomfortable. He has never lacked food and clothing since he was a child. Pampered and spoiled, she has never suffered the pain that Xiaoxue suffered.

"But now Xiaoxue is better. She has learned embroidery and opened an embroidery shop in Jinzhou City, which is the Ling embroidery shop."

"Is that the Lingxiu Zhuang that has a yellow business plaque and can sell a piece of clothing for thousands of silver?"

Luo Xiaohan hurriedly put down his chopsticks, "Thousands of taels, that's too exaggerated."

Xia Qingming wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "Slow down"

Luo Xiaohan blushed when Luo Jie and Zhu Yuze looked at him, quickly took a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "The clothes made by Xiaoxue are so expensive"

"That's right, Lingxiuzhuang's business and delivery are all in order. Once I didn't know a wife was in a hurry to ask for clothes, and the girl stood at the door and said that he Lingxiuzhuang has the rules of Lingxiuzhuang. They jumped in line, the lady said she had money and money, but the girl still refused, and the lady was seen by everyone as unable to get off the stage, so she offered ten times the price when she opened her mouth. She didn't expect the girl to agree all of a sudden, but she cheated the lady All of a sudden, I spent more than 3000 taels of silver."

"From now on, I'm afraid no one will dare to jump in line anymore." Luo Xiaohan smiled. The lady who spoke like this is afraid that Xiaoxue will not let go. She will leave after saying a few more words, but Xiaoxue suddenly agreed.

Zhu Yuze nodded, "That's true. More than 3000 taels of silver may not be a big deal in this rich family of Jinzhou, but it is worth it to ordinary people."

Fu said that he couldn't afford it either, I heard that the lady was reprimanded by her husband's family when she went back, and finally gave the money because she couldn't bear to lose face."

The four of them had dinner and walked to the door of the Jinyu Manlou. Roger pointed to a direction and said, "Go two streets from here and turn right. My family lives there. There is a fresh butcher's shop. If you go there, you can find it." Got it, if you have time to play at home, ask your brother-in-law to cook for you, Ze'er is very skilled."

Luo Xiaohan nodded with a smile, "We are living in Lingxiu Village now, and we will bring my brother-in-law over to play if we have nothing to do."

"Okay" Zhu Yuze nodded. Since the incident happened, those little friends have been told by the family to stay away from him, and there are only one or two who talk to him. They don't dare to stay with him for too long. If they can find someone to talk to It was a happy thing for Zhu Yuze to be here.

"Brother, don't tell your parents about this, lest they go to trouble with Xiaoxue, as Xiaoxue is a girl, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle them," Luo Xiaohan warned again

"Of course I won't say that I don't have much to say with them. I'm the only one who asks for money." Roger smiled wryly. He himself has been entangled by such parents. such parental exploitation

The four bid farewell, and two horses and two cars headed in two directions.

The next day, Luo Xiaohan went to Mala Duck to pack some things, and together with Xia Qingming they carried it to Luo Jie's residence.

After arriving, Xia Qingming dismounted and looked around first, saying, "No one else, come here"

Then Luo Xiaohan pulled the chaser and quickly came to knock on the door. Zhu Yuze put down the book in his hand when he heard the knock, and went to open the door suspiciously. Seeing Luo Xiaohan hurriedly smiled and invited someone in.

Zhu Yuze and his family lived in a courtyard with three entrances, which was why Luo's parents insisted on entering the courtyard three times. Zhu Yuze's parents lived in the main house, Zhu Yuze and Luo Jie lived in the east wing, and Zhu Yuze lived in the east wing. His younger brother Zhu Yufei lives in the West Wing.

"Where's big brother?" Luo Xiaohan asked

"I went to the store. Dad is going to take him to collect the bill today. My mother is going to see my eldest sister. My brother is at home. I will ask him to come see you."

Luo Xiaohan originally wanted to say no, but thinking that Xia Qingming was still a foreigner after all, he had no choice but to nod. Zhu Yufei was quickly called over by Zhu Yuze. He studied etiquette since he was a child. .The four of them sitting together didn't look so awkward. Zhu Yufei obviously read too much, he was full of bookishness, a little dazed, and was protected by his family so he was not very sophisticated. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he looked It's cute.

"I don't know what to bring here, I happened to pass by the spicy duck, so I brought some snacks for you to eat." Luo Xiaohan pointed to a few paper bags on the table and said yesterday that he noticed Zhu Yuze's expression when he saw Luo Dakun buying spicy duck, Obviously also like to eat.

Zhu Yuze looked at a bunch of things and reckoned that they would cost a lot of money, so he refused a few words, and was distracted by Luo Xiaohan, so he stopped talking and asked them to have lunch, Luo Xiaohan agreed with a smile.

He casually picked up the half-made thing on Zhu Yuze's kang and unfolded it, it looked like a child's clothes, Luo Xiaohan was overjoyed, "Brother, do you have it?"

Zhu Yuze blushed regretfully and said, "No, I just did it earlier."

Over there Xia Qingming was asking Zhu Yufei if he had passed the exam

Zhu Yufei replied seriously with a serious face, "Last year, I passed the Tongsheng examination, and I took the next year to take the examination of scholar, but the master said that I am still not good enough, so let me read more and study."

"It's already very good. My younger brother was only admitted to be a scholar when he was 16."

"Did Brother Xia's younger brother also pass the exam?" Zhu Yufei asked

Xia Qingming nodded, "He is the candidate for this year's exam. If there are no mistakes, the top three may not be able to escape."

Zhu Yufei's eyes lit up immediately, "I've bought all the poems and essays made by the brothers in the past two years, what is the name of Brother Xia?"

Xia Qingming felt that the child was polite and polite, and said with a smile on his face, "Words and rain."

Zhu Yufei thought for a while, and jumped up in surprise, "It turns out that it's brother Ji Yu's elder brother, I'm really rude." After saying that, Xia Qingming, who got a big gift because of his younger brother, helped him up, dumbfounded, "I'll see him some other day." Let’s do this big gift again.”

"Can I see him?" Zhu Yufei's eyes widened

"He's been busy meeting friends these days, and he'll bring you to see him when he's free," Xia Qingming promised

Zhu Yufei was so happy that he wanted to jump a few times, thinking that he could hold back the etiquette he had learned, Zhu Yuze looked sideways and covered his mouth with a smile, "I haven't seen my brother so happy for a long time."

"By the way, there is also this, which was given to you by Xiaoxue. She said that it is not convenient for her to come here. My brother-in-law will go to Lingxiuzhuang to find her when he has time, and tell her what kind of clothes he likes."

"How can this be?" Zhu Yuze was really pushy now. Everyone knows that the things in Lingxiuzhuang are not cheap, and this handkerchief costs a hundred taels. How could he want it?

"Brother, you don't need to refuse. Xiaoxue wants to make friends with you. She will live in Jinzhou in the future and doesn't know any friends. You often go to accompany her and help me take care of her here."

"It's right to take care of her. If she is your sister, she is also my sister. I don't need such precious things."

Seeing his resolute expression, Luo Xiaohan had to put it away and said, "Let Xiaoxue send you off in person in the future."

Seeing him put away the handkerchief, Zhu Yuze heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Don't you often live in Jinzhou?"

"The village still has land and a factory, so we can't leave for a long time. This time I came here to accompany Xiaoman, who is Qingming's younger brother, to take the exam. When the ranking is announced tomorrow, we are going to go back to our hometown."
